New Column Posted on Red Dog Journal 5/6/2009

I just contributed a new column to Red Dog Journal, a website and e-mail newsletter focused mainly on fine-art photography. In the 5/6/2009 edition, I share an “Inkjet FAQ,” link to a recent podcast to which I contributed some info, and mention some upcoming workshops. You can find the article here, and to browse the archives, which contain many previous columns by me and others, visit this page.
